A special skill has been created through a special act.
Plunge and scrub, plunge and scrub, life skill 'Laundry' Lvl. 1 has been created.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me?" Naruto questioned aloud, seeing the message
[Laundry (Active) Lv1 Exp 0.00% CP 5]
Life happens and sometime it necessary to get a little clean. Plunge and scrub to keep those clothes tidy.
Additional 10% DUR restored when active.
Overuse will reduce DUR 10%.
"Okay, not kidding," said Naruto in surprise. "Every damn time I think I've finally got this shit figured out something new pops up just to fuck with me. I swear. And I'm still talking to myself out loud, why am I still talking to myself? I'm going to shut up now and get back to my laundry."
Naruto did indeed shut up and got to work on his laundry. After which he carried it all up to the roof and hung it on the clotheslines available to the residents. With that set he sat down to wait on his clothes to dry. If he left them there they'd end up getting tossed off the side of the roof and he'd probably never get them back.
So Naruto sat back and started draining his chakra with [Chakra Reinforcement]. It was about the only thing he could train at the moment with his limited number of skills. He would love to work on some of his combat skills but he had no doubt he'd get in trouble for the noise he made or for the potential damage to the build he might cause.
That did give him another idea though. He could let his chakra recharge, while his clothes dried but he could also be more productive with his time and work on stealth. Simply moving around the rickety rooftop without making any noise had to be worthy of some stealth experience. It would probably be handy for the change in upcoming lessons.
So that was exactly what Naruto did. He just walked from one end of the roof to the other trying not to make any noise. And it did work to his benefit.
[Stealth (Passive) LV5 Exp: 14.97%]
Stealth is an essential skill to any shinobi. It is used to sneak and hide in equal parts so as not to be caught by friend or foe.

[Chakra Reinforcement (Active) Lv26 56.25% CP: 100]

Additional 360 HP damage reduction when active.
Reinforcement lasts until 360 damage has been inflicted on you.
You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully stored.
Friday had come at last. It was nice that the last four days worked to his advantage. He'd progressed quite a bit in his skills and even gained some experience from the [Trap] quest, [Stealth] quest, and the AoE quest came back this time asking for double the number of hits which Naruto pulled off. The question now was whether it was a daily quest or if it would eventually stop appearing, same for the [Stealth] and [Trap] quests. Other than that he earned his one additional stat point for STR, VIT, DEX, INT, and WIS by just going to class.
Much to Naruto's ire, Shikamaru gained another level without really even trying, the lucky bum.
Name: Nara Shikamaru
Title: Academy Student
Level: LV10 Next Level: 15.06%
HP: 120/120
CP: 170/170
STR: 10
VIT: 12
DEX: 11
INT: 17
WIS: 46
LUK: 3
Status: Lazy Genius (+5 WIS per Level, -1 STR, -1 VIT, -1 DEX), Shadow Element (Able to manipulate and control shadows, -15% cost to kage jutsu, +10 control to kage jutsu), Natural Leader (+25% to experience gain to [Advanced Tactics] Skill)
Nara Shikamaru is a member of the famed Nara clan known for their intellect and laziness. The unique ability to manipulate shadows makes them rather versatile shinobi. Shikamaru is by far the smartest Nara born in many generations and in turn is also the laziest.
Shikamaru couldn't help laughing when Naruto told him.
"What the hell did you do last night anyway?" asked Naruto.
"Fed the deer," he answered. "It was troublesome."
Naruto almost growled after hearing that but he restrained himself. Getting into a fight with Shikamaru now would be asking for detention, something he was going to avoid at all costs.
"I said it was troublesome," said Shikamaru, frowning a bit.
"Why? What happened?"
"Freaking wolf got into the preserve. Had to hunt it down and kill it. Again, it was troublesome."
"Really?" asked Naruto. "That's actually kind of cool, it would also explain how you went from about 15% of level to 15% of level 10. I kind of hate you for that."
"Next time I'll call you to help," said Shikamaru sarcastically.
"Really?" asked Naruto. "Thanks Shikamaru, that'd be great."
"Troublesome," groaned Shikamaru. Clearly Naruto missed or ignored the sarcasm.
"Anyway, I'm going to Higurashi's after class, you can come with if you want to check it out," offered Naruto.
"Yeah, I have a little time. You mind if Chouji comes with us? I haven't been hanging out with him much lately."
"The more the merrier," said Naruto happily. He was always happy to have more people around, it made feel more accepted.
It would be fate then that Naruto got paired against Chouji for his last taijutsu match of the day.
